read characteristic value

[abhatikar]

Hello,

I am running this code on my peripheral that sends battery level periodically. But I am not able to get it. A simple read_val also does not work. Please help.

Ubuntu 18.04

import gatt
from argparse import ArgumentParser

class AnyDevice(gatt.Device):
    def services_resolved(self):
        super().services_resolved()

        battery_information_service = next(
            s for s in self.services
            if s.uuid == '00001801-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb')

        for c in battery_information_service.characteristics:
            c.enable_notifications(True)

        print("Reading Battery")

    def characteristic_value_updated(self, characteristic, value):
        print("Battery level:", value.decode("utf-8"))


arg_parser = ArgumentParser(description="GATT Read Firmware Version Demo")
arg_parser.add_argument('mac_address', help="MAC address of device to connect")
args = arg_parser.parse_args()

manager = gatt.DeviceManager(adapter_name='hci0')

device = AnyDevice(manager=manager, mac_address=args.mac_address)
device.connect()

manager.run()

Please let me know if I am missing something

gatttool utility seems to work. Please help how to use this library. Thanks in advance,

Hi, same issue for me ! Have you found a solution ? Thx Jeremy

I didn't use the gatt-python. I wrote a C application to interact with BLE device.
